Anyone who's got experience of this species?

I know they are evil, fast and like to make deep burrows.

[aftershock]

From what I know, Idiops sp.:s origin is south america - Brazil/peru.

Why do you assume that it's not a Stasimopus sp? They are very common in the hobby.

 

[aftershock]

Just talked to the guy that I will buy them from. The red one is a Stasimopus robertsi and the two others are Stasimopus sp.

 

[metallica]

most are SOLD as stasiomopus. if you look at the eye configuration, you'll see the diffrence. then most appear to be Idiops

 

[aftershock]

ok. Thanx. I will check it out.
